Former Nigeria national team golden boy Kelechi Nwakali made his first appearance of the season for Barnsley playing the final 18 minutes of their 0-1 defeat to Stevenage.
Nwakali was frozen out of the first team setup after resuming late for pre season training, the season reason why his former team Huesca terminated his deal after resuming two weeks later than he was supposed after representing Nigeria at the AFCON in 2022.
Yesterday with his team already behind, the 27 year old was introduced for his first appearance of the season, walking his way back into the first team setup following demotion to the youth team.
He still has a year to run on his deal at the club, but a decision is expected to be reached in his future at the end of the current season before the start of pre season training.
” It’s been a while”, he posted on Instagram celebrating his return to first team football after eight months in the wilderness.
